- I am wondering if the cylinder may have been marred by rust or by scoring? Sometimes just rebuilding does not work very well if the cylinder is not attended to--relined with a brass liner or at the

- Trisha, did you happen to notice the condition of the bores in the master? If there is any rust/pitting in there than new seals would be of no help. I know this sounds obvious but I thought I'd ask.
